Sorry to get on this again, but can we please, please stop referring to
breast milk with the abbreviation BM?  I find this so offensive.  I know we
have had this conversation before, but I would suggest EBM (expressed
breastmilk) at least.  Someone else also suggested MOM for mother's own
milk.  This is just a pet peeve of mine, but just don't like the suggestion
of using an abbreviation commonly used for "bowel movement" for breast milk.
It just sends the wrong message.  thanks!
